Pagosa Springs, Colorado is the most populated town in — and the primary commercial hub and county seat of — Archuleta County, Colorado, United States. The population was 1,591 at the 2000 census. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated the 2006 population of surrounding Archuleta County at 12,386, representing a dramatic 25% increase since the 2000 census. Approximately 65 percent of county land is either San Juan National Forest or Southern Ute Indian land.GR6 Pagosa Springs and the surrounding county are both experiencing a substantial influx of second home owners; a 2006 property assessment indicates that 60% of area private properties are owned by non-residents. Pagosa Springs is located approximately 35 miles (56 km) north of the New Mexico border, nestled at 7,000 feet on the Western Slope of the Continental Divide. This combination of high desert plateau and dramatic Rocky Mountains to the north and east creates an unusually mild climate, especially in the summer months, when compared with much of the surrounding Southwest. Pagosa is favored with around 300 days of sun each year, as well as four distinct seasons. The town is located in the upper San Juan Basin, surrounded by the 3 million acre (12,000 km˛) San Juan National Forest, and adjacent to the largest contiguous wilderness area in the nation, the Weminuche Wilderness. |
